Rodney Lee Soda

Rodney Lee Soda received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He obtained his law degree from Loyola University in Los Angeles, California. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1976.

He started his law career as a prosecutor in the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office in Indio, California. Among his assignments was to oversee the Palm Springs office. During his tenure with the D.A.’s office, he prosecuted murders and other serious felonies, as well as misdemeanors, and he gained a well-earned reputation as a superior trial attorney.

After he entered private practice, he dedicated his career to both criminal and civil litigation. He has enjoyed great success in both arenas. His practice includes criminal defense as well as both plaintiff and defense work in civil matters, including business and construction fraud, contract disputes, and personal injury. As a testament to his level of skill, Palm Springs Life magazine highlighted the top lawyers in the Coachella Valley in an article entitled the “Desert’s Dream Team.” The article noted Mr. Soda’s reputation and experience:

Rod Soda is a former deputy district attomey tumed criminal defense lawyer, and he's been rated at or near the top by his colleagues on both offense and defense in the criminal arena. But one of his biggest cases came in a civil judgment against Kawasaki Motors Corporation on behalf of the inventor of the jet ski. (The award was in the millions.)

“During his career, Mr. Soda has tried well over 150 jury trials to verdict as well as countless other trials and hearings.”

In addition to his trial experience, Mr. Soda has served as a judge pro tem for the Indio courts, hearing both criminal and civil matters. He has also served as a mediator for the courts, helping to resolve lawsuits for attorneys and their clients. In addition, he has served as a private mediator hired by parties to resolve civil disputes and avoid trials. Further, he has served as a private arbitrator to hear evidence and rule on civil disputes for those preferring to avoid the cumbersome and expensive court process.

Because of his accomplishments and manner of practice, the revered attorney rating service Martindale-Hubbell has given Mr. Soda its highest rating of “A.V.” as a preeminent lawyer in his elected fields of practice. That rating is for his skill level and his ethics in the practice of law. He has held this rating for over 25 years.

Mr. Soda has also been a contributor to the community. One of his proudest accomplishments was serving the community as a Board of Director of Angel View Crippled Children’s Foundation, a not-for-profit organization caring for physically and mentally challenged children and adults. He served as a board member for over 25 years.

In recognition of his trial skills, ethics, and his many years of community service, the Desert Bar Association and the Warren Slaughter-Richard Roemer Inn of Court recently awarded Mr. Soda the Distinguished Lawyer Award for his lifetime of achievements in the Coachella Valley.
